wanted: older bike for ALC

I've just come to the realization that my wonderful '98 Stumpjumper, which I've ridden 6000+ miles without replacing anything and was planning on riding on ALC, is in serious need of an overhaul. Instead of spending $200+ on parts, I'd rather acquire something new to me and more suited to the task. So I figure I'll start asking around and this is a good place to start.

Does anyone have an older, now-unused road bike that they're willing to part with? Here's some specifics about what I'm looking for: I'm 5'10" on a good day, but with short arms so I'm looking for something between 50-54cm, possibly a 56 if the geometry is wacky. I'd ideally like a steel frame and indexed shifting of some sort, but these aren't essential. I don't care if it has Dura Ace hubs or a Record headset, just something RSX/105/equivalent group or better would be nice. Once I get my tax refunds, I'll have about $300 to put towards this, possibly a little but not too much more. Thank you for reading this and if anyone has a lead, I'd appreciate it.Tony, #2777
